@Molly JonesUnfortunately, many wholesalers that you meet randomly online are not very experiences or particularly skilled at what they do and often rely on bulk rather than quality so there is a high probability that they know very little about the property itself aside from the basic data that they obtained online through data scrapping.

While I was trying to be clear about not having any experience with you, I don't know if many people understand the fund of funds or co-sponsor structures and if/how they bring any value.  

I don’t have multi-res experience in DFW, but I have owned multiple rental sfr’s there from prior to the gfc.In this business, especially now, you may need to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince/princess, or turn over a lot of rocks, or any other metaphors that you like.

I would, instead consider a partner with capital and perhaps experiences and skillsets different from those of your own.

If you have experience with this, please let me know or point me in a good direction.  

I'm a very new investor and wondering if anyone here on BP has experience with Rondo Investments as a PM in Detroit.

Whole homes, in my experience, have more vacancy, especially larger homes but the overall dollar amount is higher in most cases.

I figure the worst case scenario, I don't sell anything but I gain a very significant amount of experience and knowledge about real estate (I would be surprised if this happen though as I do have a lot of sales experidence).

You will build skills and experience in acquiring and managing the duplexes that will help you with real estate projects large and small. 

If you don't have experience, you don't want to take your family's money and put it at risk.
